Racism Quotes
-
We know longer live in a homogenous society, it is not black, white, Asian or Latin, it is a melting pot.

The new racism: Racism without 'racists.' Today, racial segregation and division often result from habits, policies, and institutions that are not explicitly designed to discriminate.

And it created this ridiculous controversy and wound up being the last Hollywood movie that Sam [Fuller] made.

I believe that also it should be stressed and made clear that our antagonistic position is not to say "I don't like whites" for the simple fact of not liking white people. It's like, our fight is not against the white person per se, but against the exercises of white supremacy and the form in which whiteness and the politics of whiteness operates.
